BACKGROUND
Although hepatitis is one of the major presentations of acute Q fever, the possible influence of viral hepatitis in Q fever has, to our knowledge, never been investigated. It is an important issue in regions where Q fever hepatitis and viral hepatitis are prevalent, such as Taiwan. We
Between 4 May and 8 August 2002,46 cases of acute fever were reported near the Black Sea region in northern Turkey. The infection was treated rapidly and successfully with tetracyclines, so clinical diagnosis of rickettsial or ehrlichial infection was considered. Analysis of serum and blood samples

Between the dates of May 4th-August 6th 2002, 46 cases were detected with abdominal pain nausea, vomiting, arthralgia/myalgia, headache, fever, diarrhea and rash, in the middle Blacksea and north inner Anatolia regions. Their laboratory findings yielded elevated levels of liver enzymes (AST, ALT,
Tokat province and Kelkit Valley located in the Black Sea region of Turkey are endemic areas for brucellosis and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. Since the risk factors are similar, the probability of Coxiella burnetii seroposititivity is assumed to be also high in this area. The aim of this study
Doxycycline is a semi-synthetic derivative of tetracycline family exhibiting an interesting pharmacokinetic profile since no dosage adjustment is required for renal failure. Doxycycline displays good bacteriostatic activity against most bacteria as well as anti-inflammatory activity. Bacterial
